Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 3041. Newton, H. E., [Hoe, R.]. Feb. 12. Rotary machines; c u t t i n g, associating, and delivery apparatus; folding paper. -The invention relates (1) to means for printing and stapling webs s or sheets and associating them with unstapled sheets, and (2) to the folding and delivery mechanism. F i g. 1 shows an elevation of the delivery end of a printing - machine, in which the webs W<1>, W<2>, which may be printed with the columns running transversely of the webs, are associated by a former of usual construction, and, after passing the external guides K, L, and nipping-rollers H, I, pass through a stapling-mechanism S of suitable well-known construction. The third web W<3> passes over a third forser, between the guides K<1>, L', rollers H<1>, l<1>, and round the guide M to the rollers 40, 50, where it is associated with the stapled webs W', W<2>. The web W<3> may be printed with the columns running longitudinally, and with pages twice the size of those of the other webs. The associated webs pass from the rollers 40, 50 to folding and delivery mechanism, containing a series of folding-cylinders A, B, C, D, E, shown diagrammatically in Fig. 6. These cylinders may be adjusted to give one, two, or three transverse folds. The rollers A, B cut the sheets by the blade and block 1, 2, the leading end of the webs being carried round the cylinder A by the pins 3. A folding-blade folds the sheet to the nipping-jaws 24 on the cylinder C, and, when only one fold is to be given, these jaws release the sheet so that its leading or folded edge is guided by the movable switch 34 to the rollers D, E. A second transverse fold may be given by the blade 47 and nipping-jaws 53, in which case the jaws 24 retain the sheet for a longer period, and the switch 34 is moved down out of the way. A third fold may be given by the blade 62 and nipping-jaws 60. The folded sheets pass between tapes and guides to folding - blades and rollers and delivery mechanism as required. When one fold only is to be given, the blades 47 and 62 are rendered inoperative, or, when two folds are required, the blade 62 is inoperative. The nipping-jaws 24 and 53 are operated, so as to release the sheets at the required points, according to whether the second and third folds are being made or not, by cams having movable parts mounted to slide on the framing so that they may be moved into or out of operative position.
